Another tip from a Stuttgart resident has landed another drug bust in less than a week in Stuttgart.

This time a 19-year-old Stuttgart man has been arrested for allegedly possessing marijuana in individually wrapped baggies.

Ronald V. Madkins is facing a possible possession of a controlled substance charge after the arrest on Thursday.

The Stuttgart Police Department received information that numerous subjects were at the corner of North Lowe and West Lincoln streets at approximately 3 p.m.

“I then met (SPD Assistant Chief Steven Bobo) and he was already out with a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of the intersection,” SPD Ptl. George Bethell wrote in his incident report. “I...walked around the front of the vehicle and it attempted to pull forward touching my leg and then came to a stop.”

Madkins, the driver, allegedly kept favoring his left front pocket and made an attempt to reach for it. When Bethell patted down the subject, per procedure, he found marijuana wrapped in seven different bags.

Arkansas law states that the illegal substance must weigh a certain amount before the charge of intent to deliver can be pursued. Madkins, at this time, is facing only a possession of a controlled substance charge, a misdemeanor, since the substance did not meet the required weight.

With drug enforcement ranking as a high priority for SPD, names are being released in this case.

This arrest comes on the heels of the department taking a total of 65 hydrocodone, 76 Xanax and 77 carisoprodol pills are off the streets in Stuttgart after Vincent Geans, 42, and Errick Berry, 35, were taken into custody Wednesday, May 29, on multiple drug-related charges.
